Pros: - CAS 8 for $104.00 - Runs at 1600 MHz, 8-8-8-24 with no issues - Low Profile - 35mm - Heatsink color matches my X79s motherboard

Cons: - None

Pros: FREE GAMES!!! - Batman Arkham Origins code for Steam. - Splinter Cell Blacklist code for uPlay. - Assassins Creed Black Flag code for uPlay.

Cons: - NO COUPON for nVidia Shield!!! - Can't play Assassin's Creed Black Flag until Nov. 19th. - Would have liked all 3 of the games to been on Steam.

Overall Review: Very upset that Newegg isn't honoring the nVidia Shield coupon for the Holiday Bundle. This was the main reason for my purchase of the GTX 770. I was going to use the $100 coupon to order a Shield on my next payday. Oh well, I'm not going to pay $300 for the Shield. But I would have jumped on it for $200.

Pros: - New cooler design - ACX 3.0 - Updated display connectors; DP1.4 and HDMI 2.0b - Handles any resolution with ease; 1080P, 1440P, 4K, 21:9, and 24:9. - Quiet, even under load. - Stock fan profile keeps card in mid to high 70's. - New features: HDR, SMP, etc...

Cons: - Stuck with white LEDs on this model. RGB LEDs only available on FTW and Classified models. - I don't like having to enter info/card serial # in Precision XOC just to use the software.

Overall Review: If your curious where I got the 24:9 resolution from, I use custom resolutions on a 40" 4K HDR TV. For FPS games, 3840x1440 (34" 24:9) is my favorite resolution . But I also game at 4k and 3840x1646 (38' 21:9). Even if you don't want to overclock, I'd highly recommend using EVGA Precision XOC to make a custom fan profile and to slide the sliders for Power and Temp all the way to the right. This gives the card more room to work with and will give you a nice increase in the card's boost. Plus, the card will run even cooler, and this is technically not a overclock.

Pros: - Colors and Blacks are very good . - Sound is way better than expected. - Supports Chroma 4:4:4 and RGB Full dynamic range color formats. - Upscaling works great. - Supports custom resolutions at 60 Hz with RGB Full and Chroma 4:4:4. - No noticeable delay or lag when gaming. - After tweaking the color profile, I can't see any difference in color between it and my IPS monitor.

Cons: - Colors out of box are good, but not perfect. Plenty of options for adjusting though. - Panel feels fragile to the touch. TV overall is solid. The screen just feels like it needs a piece of glass over it. - When first connected to the PC it was a little stubborn about going into RGB Full Range Mode. But it worked after a few tries. - Sound will get distorted if turned too loud. But it gets pretty loud before it distorts. - I've noticed some vertical ghosting when scrolling on web pages, but not in games or watching TV. - Panel is only 8-bit. So HDR is not as good as on a 10-bit panel. - Smart Remote seems to quit working sometimes. Just have to pop off cover and remove battery and reinstall.

Overall Review: Overall, this is a great budget 4K TV and gaming monitor. This is the third model I've tried. And it's the only one that's been good enough in this price range to replace my three monitor surround setup. For gaming I've tried 1080, 4K, 3840 x 1440 (35" 24:9), and 3840 x 1646 (38" 21:9). Both custom resolutions run at 60 Hz in RGB Full or Chroma 4:4:4 color profiles. However, if your not on a budget, I'd recommend stepping up to one of the Samsung K series in the 8000 or 9000 models to get a 10-bit IPS panel. One little note of caution, as stated in 'Cons' the panel does appear to be fragile. My first one did arrive with a broken screen. Newegg replaced it with out question. Just know if you get a broken one you might have to wait a week or two for the replacement. This and Smart Remote issue are the only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars. NOTE: If you are having trouble using Chroma 4:4:4 or RGB Full Range mode on a PC with this TV. Check the menu under "Sources" and make sure it is seeing the connection as "PC". UHD Color should work when the source is "PC". But "Game Mode" should not be available. When "PC" is configured correctly as the source, anything that causes issue with response time will be disabled; effectively making this just a monitor. Thus, having the same affect as "Game Mode" when you have a console connected to the TV. RGB Full mode and Chroma 4:4:4 should then be available in the Nvidia Control Panel or in AMD's Crimson software on your computer. RGB - Full Dynamic Range is the standard color format for computer monitors and in my opinion should be your first choice when connected to a computer. However, Chroma 4:4:4 which is a color format for TV's should show little or no difference if RGB Full is not an option. Firmware/Software updates for this TV may effect how these settings work. Since I don't use the Smart TV software, and everything is working great. I haven't bothered to update from version 1104.

Pros: - Great upscaling for 720 and 1080 content. - 120Hz at 1080 for gaming. - Colors are good out of the box, but not perfect. - Plenty of options in menu for color calibration. - Decent speakers for TV and gaming. - Supports RGB, Chroma 4:4:4, & Chroma 4:2:2, but limited by resolution and refresh rate.

Cons: - Using direct cable hook up, 480 content looks horrible. - 4K 60Hz is only supported in Chroma 4:2:2. - Limited refresh rates and color formats. - No option to disconnect wireless connectivity in menu. - Chroma 4:4:4 does not pass the 4:4:4 test pictures. - Custom resolutions only run at 30Hz. - Using as a monitor, text only looks good in RGB or 4:4:4 which limits you to 30Hz.

Overall Review: All said and done, this is a great TV if you are subscribed to HD cable. Unfortunately, most of my channels are still at 480i which look horrible. This unit is fine for gaming if your not sensitive to a little ghosting. Response time is somewhere between 18 and 25ms. So lag is not an issue when "Game Low Latency" is enabled. If this TV would at least support 4K and custom resolutions at 60Hz in RGB color mode, I'd be happy with it. One last note, the firmware needs updated out of the box which requires it to be connected to the internet. If your not planning on using the SMART functions. Make sure you allow it to update and then reset it before doing any color calibration. The only way to disconnect it from WiFi is to reset the TV or change your password on your router.

Pros: - Build Quality. - Appearance. - Noise level. - Single card temps. - Single card scrypt mining 870 kh/s.

Cons: - Higher VRM temps than stock cards. - Temp issues when using multiple cards. - Card droop. - Can't mine scrypt at max settings when using more than one card.

Overall Review: Okay, I got two of these to use in my gaming rig for a cfx config for 7680x1440. I figured I’d use them for mining too when I wasn’t gaming. I’ve spent about a week testing each card individually and together. It took over a month to get these, so being impatient, I picked up an OEM R9 290X (couldn’t find any 290’s). Compared to the OEM 290X these cards are a lot cooler and quieter. However, I will admit the OEM coolers are not as bad as everyone says they are. The main issue is how they have the fan profile set up. But back to these cards, the build quality is excellent and the cards look gorgeous. Single card performance and temps are just like everyone else says. Usually in the mid to high 70’s (Celsius) with the fans being very quiet. As for mining scrypt, both cards maxed out at around 870 kh/s individually. Both my cards seemed to like these setting the best; “--thread-concurrency 31000 -I 20 -w 256 -v 2 -g 1 --gpu-engine 966 --gpu-fan 75 --gpu-memclock 1500 --temp-cutoff 95”. This is with Windows 8.1 and cgminer 3.7.2. But as soon as you put two of these in the same rig everything changes. Temps while gaming shoot up into the 80’s and 90’s for both cards. VRM temps went up even higher, getting close to 100c. My gpu temps ranged from 85 to 93c with CFX enabled. And the VRM temps ranged from 86 to 98c. On a good note, I will say, these temps didn’t cause any throttling. But the VRM temps are a fair amount higher than on the OEM 290X. The 290X is mining at full force sandwiched up against a 7850 in a mid-tower case. And the GPU temp is 74c with the VRM temps being 55c and 66c. Fan speed is set at 75%. Sounds like a hair dryer, lol. These high VRM temps killed any possibility of me being able to run both cards at max settings for mining. VRM temps would quickly go above 110c. Even though I never had any problems running SLI configs in it before. I thought it might be my case. It’s a full tower case with six noctua fans in it. And since these cards do tend to droop a little. Which I was a little uncomfortable with. I decided to go shopping for another case. I ended up getting the Cooler Master XB EVO. It’s a cube case that doubles as a test bench. I’ve got to say I love the case. And I don’t have to worry about card droop anymore. Unfortunately, even as a test bench; with the side panels and top off, there’s no improvement in cooling. I ended up having to down clock my cards for mining. I settled at 700 kh/s per card giving me temps in the 70’s for the gpu’s and 80’s for the VRM’s. Also, I forgot to mention my motherboard is 3-way sli/cfx compatible. So there’s actually two empty slots open between the cards. I will admit I don’t have an actual mining rig set up. With a complete open frame and risers to lift the cards off the motherboard. The temps might not be an issue. But for use in a gaming pc I would have to knock off one star for a single card because of the higher VRM temp. And in a CFX setup I’d knock off two stars.
